Ionic size of \mathrm{Li}^{+} is lowest and the surface charge density is highest among all other alkali metals. Therefore, \mathrm{Li}^{+} is most heavily hydrated among all alkali metal ions.

Effective size of \mathrm{Li}^{+}ion aqueous solution is therefore, largest.

Due to its large size, its ionic mobility is lowest under electric field.
